ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. (From the Dublin Evening Post.) GALWAY, has 2/. There is nothing spoken of here but the proee4dings which are to take place to-morrow,, and their probable re stilt. The Nobility end Gentry, of the surrounding country are to be seen perambulating the square in front of the Court-house, and seem extremely anxious for the arrival of the Judge who is to open the Aesizes, which are expected to be the most important ever held in this.town. The common people seem quite ineenled against Mr. Lambert's party, whom they hope to , see punished for firing on an unarmed, awl (as they say) onoffending multi tude—and as a rumour has gone abroad that Mr. O'Con nel has refused to act on the part of the traOtters, they are quite delighted, for they Imagine When his assistance cannot be obtained, that their wishee will be granted. ' On theother hand, the h t t ter sort o f peop l e Would wish it to be compromised, and it is said that overtures of this kind have been made. I know not by which party. They even talk of the amount. But this is a delicate point—so I shall say no more about it. There are different reports circulating, relative to a post ponement of the trial till Saturday : a motion is to be made to-marrow, in order to have it tried in the county, on the 'ground of public feeling in the town, • being too strong against the traversers ; but it is supposed that this motion will not be grunted, and that the trial will go On to-morrow. CARRICKEERGUS. Liiir CASE....BEFORE BARON M'CLZLLAND. Francis D. Finlay was indicted for publishing, in The Northern Whig, a libel, tending to bring into dihrepute the character of Nicholas Delacberols Crotnmelitt, Mr. Staples, K. C. stated, the extent and nature of the attack, which had been made on the character of Mr, Cronimelin. Mr. Scriven, in defence, observed, that he did expect some proof would have been brought forward, to establish what Flr. Staples had asserted, that the character of 'Mr; Crommelin had suffered by the publication which gave hire so much offence. But no such thing was ever at tempted. The Jury would,of course, pay proper attention to the opinion which might be offered in this case, by the learned Judge; but they would also bear in mind, that they are the judges of the law and the fact, mid shone are com petent to decide. By this he did not mean to take the jury out of the hands of the Court. During his long prac tice at the bar, no man had ever paid more respect to the prerogatives of the Bench, thin he had done; but be would not be dealing fairly 'oy his client, and by the jury, did he not distinctly la,' 'down the principle, that the first consideration for the jury was, whether this publication be a libel or not ; 'sand you, gentlemen," said he, "are solely the legitimate and constitutional judges of that fact." Af ter a long and powerful speech from Mr. Scriven, The .Tudge proceeded to charge the Jury. A trial for libel, said 'his Lordship, is rather an un 'common circumstance on this circuit. It appears that the libel with which the prisoner is charged, was published in a Paper called The Northern Whig, and related to Mr. N. D. Crommelin. lii deciding in this matter, the Jury must be satisfied of three things-Ist, That the prisoner published the libel : 2d, That it was of and concerning Mr. Crommelin : and, 3d, Whether the publication be a libel or not. Mr. Scriven has very properly stated, that that question i s left in, 'your hands. A Jury is entitled to exer cise its ittilgment in deciding of the fact; whilst it. is the provitrze of the Court to explain, the law. The Jury would judge whether Mr. Crommelin, in the I.ihel now before them, was not held up to eon tempt and ridicule. Mr. Striven had said, that pro perty might be much injured by a libel ; but did it not moth more powerfully affect u tnan's character? Property lost might be regained ; but when character is taken away, it can seldom or ever be recovered. Apply the case to yourselves,' Gentlemen, and see how any of you would like to' have your charucter traduced, and your private transactions dragged into the columns of a news paper. His Lordship then proceeded to read the. letter of "A Small Farmer," sentence by sentence. His Lord ship read, and commented as he proceeded, 'till he arrived at that part where it states that the farmers " have never yet been settled With." Is there one of you, Gentlenien, svhci can look on this, without pain ? Is it no injurious imputation to say, that a man refuses to pay his debts— that he litigates for the purpose of oppression ? If it be not a libel, I know not what libel means.--Mr. Scriven has endeavoured •to expound it otherwise ; and has alluded to something about the litigation of law ; but you and I, gentlemen, have a different duty to perform. I have been sending wretched. men abroad, who have not been guilty of half the moral crime, which that man is who drags the private characters ; -of men before the public gaze, and holds them up to con tempt and - ritlitule.—Muring the delivery of all the pre-,' ceding part of the Address, his Lordship betrayed great: warmth; but at this part, and, in the few closing words, he displayed considerable energy, both in the delivery of the words, and in the' quantity of action he employed.)-- • I have no doubt, gentlemen, but it is a foul and malicious, libel; and I call upon you to place upon it the irreparable stamp of libel. If you do not, then let the Press ;Week every one against whom it may have a spleen ; and let the. Editors' of the newspapers have their full swing.—{His, Lordahip laid himself back, aithe conclusion of the charge, • apparently exhausted by the great exertion he' laboured under, during its delivery.] ' The Jury now collected in their box, to consider theie verdict. In. a few minutes Mr. James Campbell, the fore.; man, approached the bench, and inquired from his Lord ship, whether if the Jury were satisfied of the truth of the statements made in the letter of "A Small Farmer," it would make any difference in their decision F 1-14 Lordship replied, "you are not allowed to judge whether the statements were true or false. If . they were as true as the Gospel, still it is a libel before this Court." The ex • foreman also called his Lordship's attention to the apology in the subsequent paper. You have nothing to do with the apology," said his Lordship, " that is a matter for the Court. An apology is the same, as if a man stole cow, and, at thedistanee of two or three days, when he thought better of it, tame back' and restored her to the owner." The Jury almost immediately after this, returned verdict of Guilty. His Lordship then sentenced Mr. Finlay to be impri moned in the County Gaol for three Calendar Months. TRALF.E, JULY 26. Patrick Clifford, a youn man aipar entlY about twenty three years of age, was in dicted for committing an assau lt on the person of Mary Teehan, in the neighbourhood o f the town of Killarney, on the night of th e 6 t h J an . l ast Ahoy Teehan, the prosecutrix, examined by Mr. King , , stated that myth° day in the indictment witness was i ll the town of Killarney with her father ; they remained in the town until nightfall. Her father went into some slum and witness having remained in the street, missed him. She soon after met the prisoner; he was a neighbour in whom she had confidence, a nd she told him what had hap pened. The prisoner said that her father had gone on the road, and he prevailed on witness to accompany which she did, expecting to overtake her father. She wi ts not in dread, because she looked upon the prisoner to be her friend. When they came to certain part of the road, the prisoner seized upon her, and assaulted ,her.--Illere the witness described m i n utel y the nat u re and particulars of the offence stated in the indictmentio—Witness, bet* the prisoner had his will, mule every opposition in her power. .'llie'prisoner ill-treated her, knocked her down; he struck her . nt the face, which was much bruised and swollen. He bit her severely in the arm. Witness, after the prisoner had left her, made the best of her way to her father's house. She was ill,for a considerable time after. John Cronin Esq., examined by Mr. King—Witnesttis a Magistrate dates county of 'Kerry.' Ire recollects the last witness having come before him to swear informations against the prisoner at the bar. He recollects the state of her person at the time she eanit before him. Her face was bruised ; her eye was blood-shot, her countenance in other resiveets was disfigured; her arm was severely bitten, and a large piece of flesh appeared to have been taken out of her arm. Mary Teehan, mother to the prosecutrix; examined.— Witness recollects the night that her daughter was used. Witness was in bed when her daughter came home. She does not know at what time exactly the daughter did come home. She saw her dahter the next morning, which.was Sunday. She foun der in a very bad state. Witness was shocked. Slie hardly was able to look on the face of her ohild, it was so disfigured. She could not see her qe, and she cried out " where is your eye ? what took it out of you ?!"rhe eye was completely shut up. It was black and bloody, when witness cried out, where is you eye ? the prosecutrix answered, " Mother, my eye is in my head."--(A laitiel.)—Witness could not see it, the face was so swollen. The prosecutrix was cut in different parts of the face. When witness requeited of her to tell h o er what was the matter with her, she stated how the pri soner had betrayed, and beat and abused her. She stated that he dragged her by the hair of the head. The ease having dosed, The Learned Judge told the Jury that if they believed that the crime of which the prisoner had been accused was perpetrated, it was unquestionably a case for their se rious consideration. Accusations like the present were easily made. They were difficult to disprove. The pri soner and the prosecutrix were both unmarried. Charges of this description were sometimes made by females in the hope of obtaining a match. lie thought it right to throw out that general observation, and it ' would be for the Jury to say whether, under all the circ umstances, the present case was open to any suspicion of th a t ki n d. The Learned Judge next proceeded at some length toobserve on the evidence. The Jury retired for a few minutes, and returned a ver dict of Guilty. Baron Pennefuther immediately pronounced the awful sentence of the law. The Jury, after hearing the evi dence, did not hesitate to find the prisoner guilty of a crime, to which the law awarded the punishment of death. In that verdict he concurred. He entreated the prisoner to be prepared for that severe punishment. Prisoner.---My Lord, I hope you will give me a long dttx _ 'he Judge.—You shall have time to prepare your soul for eternity; but do not persuade Tourself that you can escape that death which your crime deserves. The Learned Baron concluded by pronouncing iientence of Death. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoile, (rated Sunday, July 30.) PARIS, JULY 20.—There are Journals which are abso lutely in want of war. The ilridarque would have Spain make war on Portugal. The • Quotidienne requires Aus tria to declare war against England, and the Holy Alli ance against America. The (.hnstilutionnel and the Cour rier Francais' would have citizens war against citizens; and the Journal des Debats asks England to declare war against all Governments which have not a written Char ter. Each of those Journals makes its news conformably to its wishes and its passions. The Arislarque made 130,000 royalists volunteers march to thu g frontiers of Portugal; the Quo&lime dreamt of a protest of Austria against what is passing at Lisbon; the Journal des Debats reinfOrces the English squadron in the Tagus; the Constitutionnel and the Courrier mark as a Jesuit whoever doss not subscribe to the Courrier and Constitutionnel; and yet we must listen to these gentle men to be acquainted with public opinion and the truth. Happily, it is they who say so, and they alone. The news pubbilhett by the Journal des Debats, of 'Thursday, after the Drapersu Blanc, it, OS we lat4e Rabl, completely false, and the source from which the Journal des Debats has lrawn them, does not give them any de gree of authenticity. (From the Constitutionnel.) (XXTRACT FROM A PAIVATZ LYME.) CONSTANTII4OOI.B, June 30.—Joussouff, the Pacha of Sevres, accompanied by four or five hundred Albanian; arrived in this city, where the ferocious Aboulouboud Paella, notorious for his cruelties, has joined, him, with four hundred more: Such are the auxiliaries which the Sultan receives, told there is no doubt that more will arrive in a short time. , Though we are divided from the city only by the inter val of te port, Constantinople forms a world by itself, and we 'know nothing of what passes there till long after its occurrence. We did not know, for instance, that the rebel- Janissaries had penetrated into the Harem of the Prince of the Believers, and that his Odalisques (the ladies' chambers) were exposed to their violence; such a thing never happened before, and in order to purify his High ness's corps of loved ones, they sewed up in sucks, and threw into the sea, those unfortunate creatures, who hap pened to be victims to the violence, insepara ble from the rebellious tumult. Thii is the manner in which justice is administered in this 'good country of Turkey; and a num ber of the eunuchs, accused of conniving ut the conduct of the rebels, have gone with the rest into the sea, with stories appended to their necks. The garment of the prophet, Which they called the Sa cred Standard, which is always shut up in a box, has been, exposed . to the public, and is' anxiously regarded, as they never before had an opportunity of beholding the antique relic. They still continue to demolish the coffee-houses of the Jannissaries, and to"treat their kettles (sacred enaigns), as the Russians treated them in thutime of Suwaroff.--theY also all Mahmoud, the second Sultan Kavour, or the up. believer; and the true believers are in as great consternivr Lion as if the Russians were encamped on the Hippo drome.# They would have it, that because the late occur. rences are inconsistent with thefr manners, they are also infractious of their religious belief; for instance, though they hate the Jannissaries of the Diplomatic Bodies--tlie poor people shed tears for them ; and if they had no dread of any power but the divine one, they would volunteer baptism for the purpose of remaining in the service of the Christian Powers. They are, notwithstanding this, obliged to appear in the Temple of . Galata, in order to praise and perpetuate the memory of Hadgi Bekladg, the founder of the order of Jannisaries. For the purpose of detaching them froM this species of apostasy, many livei have been destroyed, and the object of it has been accom plished. This is the Turkish mode of convincing and con verting people. A letter has been addressed to the Duke de Choiseul, a Member of the Greek Committee-in Paris, by the Master. of the King of Saxony's Chapel, stating that the members of the Chapel, having long wished to. contribute their assistance to the unfortunate Christians ,of the East, had given a concert on the 28th of Jima, in aid of the Greeks, the receipt of which, amounted to Two Thousand Nine 'Hundred amid Fifteen Crowns, Prussian money, (about 7004 of our currency), and that the contributors expressed a wish that it would be laid out in the purchase of provi sions for such of those Greek cities as may be menaced by the enem y. The'llarehioness of. Dalmatia has presented to the (4 " e iga *Pariefruilk,_ made of most rare wood , and ea- Visit* manufactured.

All those who h ave no t been, enrolled in the new bands, or transported to Asia, have been put to death. It would appear that the populace has • An opm race ground near Constantinople. seen with pleasure the destruction Of this ancient corps.— Estimating with sagacity the spirit of the Turkish nation, the Sultan goes on with his reforms without relaxation. He keeps up the enthusiasm of the public, in the mean titre, by frequently showing himself. He is often present at the exercises of the new troops, clothed in the newly introduced costume, which is half European, half Asiatic. In all the public squares . of Constantinople you may see Franco-Egyptians training to , the use of the firelock those Turks, who formerly entertained so much contempt for Egyptians and Franks. Pera rejoices at the prospect of the reviving powers of the Ottoman empire. The Turks say s that Mahmoud has been chosen by the prophet to, bring about that revolution which was necessary to give the Eastern p o wer sufficient to withstand th e eneroae h . ments of the \Vest. A German Journal pretends that the Emperor Nicholas, after his coronation, will have an interview with the Em peror of Austria at Warsaw. From Marseilles we learn that M. Maximas Raybaud has set out from that city for Napoli di Romania. The Greek Committee at Paris have confided to that officer a considerable supply Of provisions and warlike stores, des tined for the Greeks. Fifty officers and subalterns ac= company M. Raybaud. The brig Jeune Emilie, of 300 tons, will speedily leave Marseilles for the smile destination, with 500 muskets and other military stores. The Chamber of Peers continued to-day the discussion of Ouvrard's case. The opinion of the Chamber on the ' first' point has not yet been fully pronounced, but every thing inclines us to believe that it will be given to-mor row. It is expected that the majority of the Peers will adopt the conclusions of the Proeureur-General. The whole of the speeches pronounced in the sitting of to-day lean that way, whatever shades of distinction may be ob servable in the motives of the speakers. (From the .Journal de Path.) A Journal this day re-assures the Quotidienne and Aril /argue, which were already sending the Spanish troops towards the frontiers of Portugal, and despatching rein forcements to the French troops in Spain, by infOrming them that a courier from Vienna has charitably allowed the contents of a dispatch, from the infant Don Miguel, to transpire, in which he protests against every thing that has taken place at Lisbon." The pretended intelligence, and the pretended refutation, are alike authentic. The whole of these fables may be relegated to the same place as the protest of the Emperor of Austria, made at Paris, by M. the Count , D'Appony. (From the Journal des Debra') A Ministerial journal has published two paragraphs which merit some attention—the first under the date of Madrid; the second under that of Lisbon. The singular facts, the strange reflections which these articles contain, acquire a certain authenticity; and consequently a certain importance, by, appearing in a journal edited under the im 'mediate influence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. MADRID, July 17.—1 t appears that our Ministers and our Chancellors of State have taken courage, and are less 'afflicted than they. were a few days ago, on account of the affairs of Portugal. The reason is, that there has passed through this city a cornier extraordinary, sent from Vienna to Lisbon by the Infante Don Miguel, charged with des patches to the Regency, in which the Prince states his resistance and decided opposition to the measures adopted at the instigation of the English by the Emperor of Brazil, his brother, and to the plan of chambers and a democratic constitution. These despatches, the contents of which the courier al lowed to transpire, are considered by our politicians not only as authorised by the Court of Austria, but even to have been solicited by it from Don Miguel. Consequently the new measures and inaovations being supported neither by Austria, nor France, nor Russia, nor Spain, are no thing also titan the result of English irsattence with the Emperor Don Pedrti, and therefore will not be recognised by any of the said Powers, and must fall of themselves.-- Spain will not then have ()cession to make efforts which would aggravate the difficulties of her situation, to form an army of observation, and raise the taxes necessary to its maintenance, and France will not be wider the necessity of reinforcing her army of occupation in the Peninsula.— . Whatever opportunity for glory certain statesmen may lose, we think that aii amicable arrangement is always better than a successful process. .. Lisp" Jinx 1.1.—" As soon as Sir Charles Stuart landed in our port, bringing: the decree of the Portuguese constitutional charter, he .wrote to the Count de Porto Santo, our Minister for Foreign Affairs, who had been called from Spain, where, he was Ambassador, by the late King John VI, to assume the emiiient post of first Minis ter, and requesting of him to come to his hotel. Count Porto Santo was no Sooner informed of the landing of Sir C. Stuart, and the object of his arrival in Lisbon, than he had a conference with the Regency, in consequence of which he gave in his resignation, declaring that he would have sacriticedhiioifeto have served his King, and would even after his death still sacrifice it to execute his last in tentions, the accomplishment of which would in his opi nion alone give happiness to the country ; but that since the Regency was disposed to deviate from those inten tions, he could no longer act as Minister, and would therefore retire to his estates, having besides need of repose, on account of his long service., and the state of his health; that in no case would he allow his name to be mixed up with charters, constitutions, and English pro tection; that he therefore bade them arewell, and would send.in his portfolio. In return to Sir.C. Stuart's letter, Count Porto Santo replied, that if he wished to see or' visit him, it was no further from Sir C.. Stuart's house to his than from his to Sir Chides's; that he might then mkt , the trouble of coining, but that he (the Count) was indisposed ; that if the object of the invitation was a di. pioniatic conference, he must address himself to another persOn, for that he had given in his resignation as soon as he was informed of the arrival of Sir Charles. This conduct may displease some of the partisans of constitu tional ideas, but is not the less distinguished by nobleness, grandeur, and courage. It is thus that the good cause is maintained.' (From tke Moniteur. MADRID, July 17.—Yesterday it was reported hers that the King and the Ministers will return immediately to Madrid, and that this return is occasioned by the neces sity for the Sovereign's presence in order to adopt, at any moment, and in common accord with all the Ministers, Councils, and Ambassadors, the measures which the situa tion of Spain, relative to the affairs of Portugal, may require; .

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1826. We received last night the Paris Papers of Satur day and the Etoile dated Sunday morning. Their contents are given in another column. The Etoile ridicules the alarms sounded by other papers at the establishment of the Portuguese Constitution. For ourselves, we are not surprised that the ultra journals should feel considerable alarm at the events in Portugal, because the mode in which the charter has been con ferred upon, and received in, that country must render the propagation of sound and rational principles of liberty more certain, and fatal to arbitrary governments, than if a Constitution had been gained by rebellion and established on the wild and insecure principles of modern revolutionists.

Among our extracts from the French Papers will he found some articles containing intelligence from Lisbon to the 14th, and Madrid to die 17th tilt. By the former we learn that . the Duke DE CARDHAVAL, of the first family in Portugal, has been appointed Presi dent of the Chamber of Peers, and zealously embraces the new system of Representative Government. From the Madrid. article we learn the immediate return of the King of SPAIN to the capital, to adopt the mea sures which may 'he necessary in consequence' of the state of affairs in Portugal. The utmost moderation in the conduct of the GoVernMent is said to exist. , The latest intelligence from Constantinople is to the 3d of last month ; but the French papers contain some interesting particulars of the extraordinary events in that city, in letters of a prior date. We subjoin two articles, which describe the unabated energy of the Sultan, and the success which appears to attend all his measures. It would seem that his actions are founded, on a thorough knowledge of the people with whom he: has to deal. While stranglings, drownings, and every other species of execution are going on, he proceeds steadily with his works . of. reform, and succeeds in kindling a degree of enthusiasm among his troops and people, which had long ceased to exist among the Turks. If no fatal accident should hefal the Sultan, we may already consider that the power of the Ottoman Empire will revive, and that it will under her present Sovereign assume a formidable and important station amongst nations. Hamburgh Papers reached .town‘ by the Sir Ed ward Banks steam vessel, yesterday afternoon, to the 30th ult.: their contents are not important. A letter from Berlin, describes the advantages likely to result to Prussia by the recent commercial arrange ments with this country. It observes, that as the Prussians build cheaper, pay less wages, and less taxes than the English, their freight must consequently be cheaper; and that, therefore, it may be expected that in English ports, Prussian ship& will be almost exclu sively frei g ht e d f or t h e B a l t i c. Th e l etter i n quistion describes also other advantages which _Prussia will gain by free intercourse with us and our Colonies ; but admits that reciprocal benefits will be derived by this country, by the importation of articles, on payment of a moderate duty. rICNANGICII ON LONDON.

VIZNNA, JULY 19.--Three months, 10. 16. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 25th ult. has reached us this morning, from which we make the fol lowing extracts. The provinces of East and West Prussia appear to, be suffering severely from the stag nation of their trade with this country, and the never failing remedies which we have been looking to for the cure of the distresses at home, namely, time and increased circulation of money, ap p e ar to be the de sired specifics in those Provinces also:— BZgLiki,JULY 13. The situation of the provinces of East and West Prus sia, whose former prosperity founded on the English trade has entirely vanished, has long since engaged the atten tion► of the Government. Landed property in these provinces has hardly any • value At all, and unless speedyand powerful aid is ahrded a general bankruptcy of the land-ovrners is inevitabk- Under these circumstances, our active Minister of Finance, M. Van Motz, has been induced to take a journey to those provinces, that he may be able, from personal knowledge of the case, to propose to the King the best means of saving them from utter ruin, when his Majesty will visit them in his return from Toplitz, for the purpse of reviewing the troops. If a great part of the numer ous Prussian cavalry were to be quartered according to the wishes of the inhabitants in these provinces, where forage ia,much cheaper than in the other parts of the king dom, this might partly serve to avert the danger which threatens them. But a thorough improvement can be ex- Elected only from time, and from an increased circulation of.money, to be introduced with prudence into all the - provinces. Hitherto it was only in those provinces that public sales of large estates were frequent, but they seem now to extend to the other provinces. In the province of. Frankfort, the noble estate of Frauendorf, which belonged to the great French army contractor► Count tie la Rivaliere,is offered for sale to the highest bidder, on account of debts ; and, according to the in stances which have already occurred, the - highest offer will hardly amount to the half of the value at which it is officially taxed. In the seven Prussian Universities there are at present 3,000 students, 220 professors, secretarie s, &c. The students are organised almost in a military man" ner, wear a uniform, and are under a very strict superin. tendance. VIENNA, JULY IS. The statement that the Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Co burg Saalfeld will take the title of Coburg, in conse quence of the death of Prince Cobary, is founded on a mistake.

The accounts from all parts of the Country with respect to the 'Wheat Harvest are of the most gratify ing nature. The crop is not only abundant, but of an unusually fine quality, and there seems every reason to expect that the price of Bread Corn, at all e vents, will considerably fall. Barley and Oats we fe.sr wilt prove below an average crop, and it is supposed that the. Ports will open with regard to those articles. 'The Moniteur of' Saturday contains the following state ment of the average price of the Hectolitre of Wheat in various markets, from - the'most recent returns re ceived in the office of the Minister of the Interior. By this statement, it will be seen that the average price of Wheat in France is about two-thirds of the price in this Country. Places. Dates.

Wake fi eld for the abduction of hi s daughter. It`'e hj iza l made some enquiries on this subject, and are perfectly satisa that there is not -the slightest foundation for the assertion.
